Who: Owen and Ianto
What: Talking and drinking
When: Monday night

Ianto was greeted at the door by Lyssa who smiled at him then looked mournfully at the beer he was carrying. Instead for her there was milkshake which she seemed happy to wander off to the kitchen with while he went to the living room where he hoped he'd find Owen.

"Hey." He held up the beer. "My way of saying thanks. Amazed you still want to see me after the last week." He looked slightly awkward standing about for a moment. Then he suddenly spoke.

"I think I just asked Gwen out on a date."

	"I want to, but I don't think I can. Is it selfish of me I just want to be able to worry about what I need to do for a while." He sat down in a chair opposite. "I think that's why it's taken me so long to work things out. That and I couldn't exactly make a proper choice being five apart from where to hide." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You were clearly one of a few" Lyssa pointed at Ianto. "The hiding places give it away. He'd be useless." She pointed a toe at Owen. "Only child." She giggled. "I was the brat, youngest of the family." She stuck her tongue out at Owen as if it wasn't clear already. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Owen shook his head. "Aw sod it, both of you. Not my fault my mum only got preggers the one time. Knocked up, she did." He sighed. "I'm not always useless. Why do you both torture me so?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You're right you're not always." He opened his beer and drank. "Because it's funny?" Ianto smirked. "Second of five." He told Lyssa. "So you were sort of right." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"And you're special for it." Lyssa looked over at him best she could, deciding against trying to pull her to him as she was lying on her back, she sat up, turned round and lay back down head on his knees looking up. "We're not, just bit of fun, know I love you." She smiled up.

"Sister the brother, three of us named after Greek deities." Lyssa rolled her eyes and looked back up to Owen. "Can we not do that to ours. Please?"

	Owen nodded his head. "Whatever you want, Lys." He looked up at Ianto. "Funny for you, ya prat. Ok, so... What would you name a kid? What names are nice names to ya? What do you think?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well whatever we pick it's gotta sound okay with Harper, no hypenated last name, just Harper." She closed her eyes to think, not going to fall asleep there at all now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"What about your mothers name Owen?" Ianto wondered if it was a good idea to have suggested that. "Since Lyssa seems to want to go with Greek deities have to think of something else." Possibly quickly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Owen closed his eyes and leaned back against the sofa, rubbing his face with his hands. "No. Not my mum." Owen sighed, shaking his head a bit. "What about you, Lyssa? What was your mum's name?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nothing_of_note 2008-01-28 10:02 pm UTC (link)
	Lyssa opened her eyes looking up to then glare over at Ianto, trying to resist asking why not. "I said we weren't going with anything Greek or deity...-y." One family 'tradition' that would die quite nicely then and there. She hmm'd. "Poppy? Lily? Molly? Daisy? Maybe no flowers either. Why not your mum?" She reached up to take one of his hands.

	Ianto tried to make himself as unnoticable as possible, then decided it would be easier to go find more beer, for Owen not just to get away from any awkwardness. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He looked up at Ianto, then back down at Lyssa. He didn't want Ianto to feel bad or leave. He was just starting to feel close to the prat. "My mum wasn't around much when I was growing up. She did the best she could, but dad ran off when I was real little and she drank a lot..." He sighed. "What about..." He smiled. "We could steal the name from a celebrity?"

	Lyssa sat up and pulled her to him to hold and hug. "You're gonna be a great dad you know that." She whispered. "What no ideas of your own? So which one then? Or is it now too much choice?" She looked over to Ianto who she spotted standing the doorway to the kitchen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ianto smiled and headed back setting more beer on the table between them. He wanted to say something but wasn't really sure if he should then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	genius_mind 2008-01-29 12:17 am UTC (link)
	Owen frowned. "Why again can't we call it Ianta?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nothing_of_note 2008-01-29 01:52 am UTC (link)
	"Rain." Lyssa said suddenly. "She should be called Rain." She grinned at Owen hopefully. "Ianta can be her middle name. Rain Harper, Rain Ianta Harper, hmm?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	genius_mind 2008-01-29 02:07 am UTC (link)
	Owen blinked. Inwardly, he liked the name. He wasn't entirely sure about the Ianta part, but at least it wasn't some bollocks name either. And Rain was pretty. "You really want to call her Ianta?" He snorted, looking up at Ianto. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coffeeboy 2008-01-29 02:19 am UTC (link)
	"It's a unique name, fits with her family." Ianto commented as he reached for beer. "Rain Ianta Harper, who will never date until she's fifty." He grinned at Owen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Don't have to if you don't want. You like Rain though?" Lyssa was still smiling. "And thanks Yan, you're her family too you know, you're just a part of the crazy as me and him, uncle Yan." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	genius_mind 2008-01-29 02:36 am UTC (link)
	Owen raised his beer up to Ianto. "Aye, you're family now. Whether you like it or not." He took a sip. "To Rain Ianta Harper!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	coffeeboy 2008-01-29 02:52 am UTC (link)
	"Oh goodie!" He then laughed and joined in the toast. "Rain, now we just wait to meet her." He set the beer down. "You get to be a father properly, see her grow up." Ianto was jealous and the same time happy he didn't have to deal with the growing up, an odd situation to be in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nothing_of_note 2008-01-29 03:10 am UTC (link)
	Lyssa made a grab for the beer, so close all night and finally giving up and just reaching for it and stopping. "Would you please stop with the kicking and the causing me pain." She whined, gave up and curled up next to Owen putting his arm around her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Owen frowned. "Oh baby..." He put down his beer and rubbed her stomach gently. For one brief moment, he really wanted to give her a sip of his beer. He kissed her shoulder and moved his hands gently up and down her stomach and abs, before moving them to her arms. He bit his lip, hating seeing her like this. He'd treated pregnant women before, but never in the home. He'd never seen them other than quickie visits in the office. His heart went out to her.

"Oh you'll see her grow up too, Yan. You're going to be an Uncle and you'll be needed around here." He sighed and kissed Lyssa's forehead, brushing a lock of hair out of her eyes. "It's ok. It's going to be ok."

	"Need you to keep telling me that." She settled in his arms and felt safe. She looked over to Ianto momentarily, she would have said more but even that she trusted him she wasn't up for being that open about how she felt with him there then, other things she's quite happily tell him that he probably shouldn't or wouldn't want to know but her feelings well no.

	"For babysitting?" Ianto laughed, he didn't mind at all. It was odd seeing this side of Owen for Ianto, different but good, like the friendship they now had and he didn't want to lose it. "Also have to teach her some Welsh and make sure she knows how to keep her parents in line." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
